famsa will replace the amino acid U with X

Open LTEnjoy opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hello! When I used famsa to alignment sequences, it would automatically replace all the amino acid U with X and keep others the same. Could you solve this problem?

Hello!

Thank you for reporting this issue. Selenocysteine is not among standard 20 amino acids, thus it is treated by FAMSA as an unknown symbol and replaced with X in the final alignment. I am marking support of extra amino-acids as a TODO feature.
